WAJRP BEAM.

Application led March 5, 1,923, Serial No. 622,940. Renewed December 2, 1924.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, EUGENE P. SEARING, citizen of the United States, and resident of Paterson, in the county of Passaic and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Warp Beams, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to warp beams such as used in the manufacturing of textile fabrics.

It has for its objects: rlhe adjusting of the heads on the beam for whatever width of warp is required and means forl locking the said heads when adjusted so as to keep the heads from moving during the winding of the warp and when the side pressure is greatly -increased by said warp.

I attain these results by the device as shown in the accompanying drawings in which similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

In the drawings Fig. 1 is a front view of a beam complete as per my invention.

Fig. 2 is an end view of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is an end View of one of the flanges.

Fig. 4 is a side view of Fig. 3 showing a one half section.

Fig. 5 isa side view of the locking device.

Fig' is a front view of Fig. 5.

Fig. 7 shows a part of the roll on which the warp is wound.

Fig. 8 is an end view of Fig. 7

In the drawing 1 represents the body of the roll which can -be of wood. Over the two ends of the roll 1 there is a tube 2 driven on tightly, and has threads 4 running its full length or nearly so.

'This tube 2 is secured to the roll 1 by a rivet 18 also by screws 19.

The tube can be made to its full length if so desired.

The roll revolves on its gudgeons 3 which are the. same as on any warp roll. e

The flange 5 has a hub 7 and a thread on its internall periphery, and also jaws 8 to engage as a positive clutch the correspending jaws 0f the locking sleeve.

cover the roll lI claim and desire to secure by flanged members l The thread 6 corresponds with the thread 4 on the tube 2.

The locking sleeve 10 has an internal thread 17 which also corresponds to the thread 4 on the said tube 2.

The sleeve 10 has an open space 16 cut away between the lugs 13 and 14, there is bolt 15 passing through the two lugs 13 and 14 which when it is screwed up draws the sleeve tight on the thread on the tube securely locking it on said tube.

The sleeve 10 also has jaws or projections 11 which correspond 'to the spaces 9 between the jaws 8 on the flange hub 7.

The flanges 5 are threaded on the pipe -or tube 2 with the locking sleeve 10 with the jaws of the one entered in the spaces between the jaws of the other and they are so threaded up to position on the tube 2.

When the flanges 5 with the sleeves are screwed up to the required position determined by the width of the warp the bolts 15 are tightened drawing the lugs 13 and 14 together clamping the' sleeve firmly to the threads on the tube, thus locking the flanges tothe required width.

Having thus described my invention what Letters Patent is: v

In a warp beam` a threaded beam or shell, having internal threads corresponding to the threads onv the beam or shell, jaws on said hanged members, locking sleeves interiorly threaded and mounted on said beam, jaws on said sleeves for interlocking with jaws on. the anged members, said sleeves being split longitudinally and each having lugs adjacent the split with a bolt for drawing said lugs together to bind the sleeve on the beam and thus to lock the. flanged members in place on the beam.
